M&S departure could cast a light on forgotten part of city centre

Marks & Spencer has confirmed it will be bringing to a close an almost 100 year stay on Church Street in Liverpool City Centre.

Yesterday the retailer shared the news it will be leaving Grade II listed Compton House to move to a new site at the former Debenhams department store in Liverpool ONE. All staff in the Church Street store are aware of the plans and will be given the opportunity to transfer to the new store on the corner of Lord Street.

Earlier this year it was announced another new venture would also be moving into the large Debenhams unit, which has sat empty since the chain’s closure in 2021. A £10m plan by Active Gravity Entertainment is already underway and will convert part of the former department store into a go-karting, bowling and indoor golf venue.
